One of the most important sounds for any keyboard player is the piano. For this reason, we have not only added new pianos, but we have also processed existing piano sounds to a much higher quality. The CFX, Yamaha's flagship piano, now has more dynamic layers, 88-key sampling and twice the sample length of its predecessor. A Character Grand is also available, a well-recorded German grand piano from the 1980s. This stands out with its edgier, yet round sound and is perfect for pop and jazz music, among other things. The U1 Upright, Yamaha's top-of-the-line piano, has been tuned to provide a contemporary sound for modern pop songs. If you're looking for a more cinematic piano sound, you can try the rich, melancholic tone of the new Felt Piano.
The SA2 voices continue to lead the way in playability and authenticity, offering articulations and tone changes not found in any other hardware keyboard instrument. In Genos2 there are even more sounds to choose from, covering not only the full orchestral palette, but also ethnic sounds such as duduk, shakuhachi and a Celtic flute, perfect for film scoring.
